Talk:Eloise Hughes Smith

Different place of death - USA or England?
The place of death is mentioned both in the article and in the datalist.

One shows USA and the other England.

Is it because one of the is her final resting place instead?

 * Good point, I don't know the answer, so added a cite needed tag.-- SPhilbrick  (Talk)  22:00, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Quote trimming
The original quote in the footnote read:

Mrs. Eloise Hughes Smith, a survivor of the Titanic disaster, to whom a divorce was granted a month ago from Robert P. Daniel of Philadelphia, another survivor of the same disaster, was married Saturday at Ironton, Ohio, to L. C. Cort of Huntington, a former Pennsylvania State athlete, the bride's mother, Mrs. James A. Hughes, announced last night. Mrs. Cort's first husband, Lucien P. Smith of Uniontown, Pa., was drowned when the Titanic sunk [sic] and the encounter in mid-ocean between Daniel and his widow culminated several years later in their marriage. Mrs. Cort, who is the daughter of former Congressman Hughes, is prominent in Washington society.

My view is that the footnote is supporting the claim that she married a fellow survivor. The first sentence, talking about her third marriage and divorce form second husband, isn't even mentioned in the article, so isn't needed in the quote, which should largely serve to support the claim. The final sentence, supports an earlier claim about her relationship to Congressman Hughes, but isn't relevant here. Consequently, I've trimmed the quote to the relevant parts. As the quote is PD, I've reproduced it here, so other editors can weigh in, on the chance that a different editorial judgement is warranted.-- SPhilbrick  (Talk)  21:56, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
